Claims (6)

  1. Abgasreinigungsvorrichtung für eine Kraftmaschine mit:
    einem NOx-Absorptionsmittel, das in einer Abgasleitung einer Brennkraftmaschine angeordnet ist, wobei das NOx-Absorptionsmittel NOx in dem Abgas der Kraftmaschine absorbiert, wenn das Luft-Kraftstoff-Verhältnis des Abgases ein mageres Luft-Kraftstoff-Verhältnis ist, und das absorbierte NOx freigibt, wenn die Sauerstoffkonzentration in dem Abgas verringert ist, und wobei das NOx-Absorptionsmittel SOx in dem Abgas absorbiert, wenn das Luft-Kraftstoff-Verhältnis des Abgases ein mageres Luft-Kraftstoff-Verhältnis ist, und das absorbierte SOx freigibt, wenn die Sauerstoffkonzentration in dem Abgas verringert ist und wenn die Temperatur des NOx-Absorptionsmittels höher als eine SOx-Freigabetemperatur ist;
    SOx-Freigabeeinrichtungen zum Erhöhen der Temperatur des NOx-Absorptionsmittels auf eine Temperatur, die höher als die SOx-Freigabetemperatur ist, und zum Verringern der Sauerstoffkonzentration des in das NOx-Absorptionsmittel hineinströmenden Abgases, um dadurch das absorbierte SOx von dem NOx-Absorptionsmittel freizugeben; und
    SOx-Steuereinrichtungen zum Steuern der Menge des in dem NOx-Absorptionsmittel absorbierten SOx durch Steuern der SOx-Freigabeeinrichtung derart, dass, wenn die SOx-Steuereinrichtung erwartet, dass die Temperatur des NOx-Absorptionsmittels auf eine erste vorbestimmte Temperatur ansteigt, wenn das Luft-Kraftstoff-Verhältnis des Abgases mager ist, im wesentlichen das gesamte absorbierte SOx von dem NOx-Absorptionsmittel durch die SOx-Freigabeeinrichtung freigegeben wird, bevor die Temperatur des NOx-Absorptionsmittels die erste vorbestimmte Temperatur erreicht.
  2. Abgasreinigungsvorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1, wobei das NOx-Absorptionsmittel das absorbierte SOx in sich in der Form eines Sulfatpartikels hält und wobei die erste vorbestimmte Temperatur eine Temperatur ist, bei welcher die Sulfatpartikel in dem NOx-Absorptionsmittel bei einem Abgas mit magerem Luft-Kraftstoff-Verhältnis anfangen zu wachsen.
  3. Abgasreinigungsvorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1, wobei die SOx-Steuereinrichtung außerdem eine Abgastemperaturermittlungseinrichtung zum Ermitteln der Temperatur des in das NOx-Absorptionsmittel hineinströmenden Abgases aufweist und die SOx-Freigabeeinrichtung aktiviert, wenn die Temperatur des Abgases auf eine zweite vorbestimmte Temperatur ansteigt, welche geringer als die erste vorbestimmte Temperatur ist.
  4. Abgasreinigungsvorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1, die außerdem aufweist:
    Reinigungseinrichtungen, die in der Abgasleitung stromaufwärts des NOx-Absorptionsmittels zum Entfernen einer bestimmten, in dem Abgas enthaltenen Komponente angeordnet sind; und
    Verbrennungseinrichtungen zum Verbrennen der bestimmten, durch die Reinigungseinrichtung abgefangenen oder daran anhaftenden Komponenten durch Anheben der Temperatur der Reinigungseinrichtung und durch Zuführen eines Abgases mit einem mageren Luft-Kraftstoff-Verhältnis zu der Reinigungseinrichtung,
       wobei die SOx-Steuereinrichtung die SOx-Freigabeeinrichtung aktiviert, bevor sie die Brenneinrichtung aktiviert.
  5. Abgasreinigungsvorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 4, wobei die bestimmte Komponente eine lösliche, organische Fraktion ist und die Reinigungseinrichtung ein Oxidationskatalysator oder Drei-Wege-Katalysator ist, der die lösliche, organische Fraktion in dem Abgas oxidiert.
  6. Abgasreinigungsvorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 4, wobei die bestimmte Komponente ein Schwebstoff in dem Abgas ist und die Reinigungseinrichtung ein Partikelfilter ist, der die Schwebstoffe in dem Abgas abfängt.
